Mr B MuteweyePortfolio Section D: Ethics, Copyright and IPR in Computer labsIn the normal course of their teaching duties, several lecturers have reported finding pirated software improperly installed on the computers in the computer labs. Lecturers also found that students have copied and pasted materials from various Internet resources into their own assignments and reproduced them as if they were their own. This, they find, is a common problem among their students. Before taking a decision on what should be done, lecturers asks you, as students, for your inputs to decision-making. Submit your answers to the following questions in either a one page Word document (aim for around 500 words) or a PowerPoint presentation of no more than 8 slides in the Assignments tool: What are the ethical and IPR issues that the faculty are confronted with? What are the steps that the faculty should take to address the ethical and IPR issues? If you were the student who copied and was caught for plagiarism, what are the consequences you would expect? Students who successfully complete this assignment will be able to present critical arguments around ICTs for development projects and demonstrate their capabilities...

“It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little (or not at all in some cases)
should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written, but I know it's
true. If I had a nickel for every person who ever told me he/she wanted to become a
writer but ‘didn't have time to read,’ I could buy myself a pretty good steak dinner. Can I
be blunt on this subject? If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or
the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
—Stephen King

Course Description:This is an introductory course in writing fiction and poetry. A basic
premise of this course is that powerful stories and poems often emerge from the
collision of attentive reading, fearless writing and rigorous revision. Some writers may
be born, but all writers are made (as are athletes, doctors, painters, lawyers, and
musicians) through the deliberate and persistent practice of a discipline. In...

Proper Case Study Format
“Almost anyone can follow a trail; the key skill is knowing what trail to follow.”
Proper case format is essential not just from the perspective of handing in a written case, but also from the perspective of thinking through the case – it provides a structured, logical process to your analysis. The following is the required format for a full case analysis:
#1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The executive summary appears first in your report, but is written last. The Executive Summary must accomplish the following:
Summarize the report to follow – the key points – in one page or less;
Be clear, concise, and persuasive and the key selling feature of the report;
Outline the following:
The issues;
The recommended solution;
The key rationale;
The final decision;
Brief description of the action plan.
#2. STATEMENT OF THE FACTS AND PROBLEM(S) OR ISSUES (OR OPPORTUNITIES)
This may be one of the most difficult parts of the whole case analysis. If you cannot correctly identify the situation and problem to be dealt with, it is very difficult to reach an acceptable decision point and plan of action.
The Statement of the Facts must accomplish the following:
List the essential facts of the case, including page references, using proper business terminology when appropriate;
Group the essential facts into...

“The End of Admiration: The Media and the Loss of Heroes”
Peter Gibbon, in his article “The End of Admiration: The Media and the loss of Heroes,” after travelling around the United States of America, says New York City’s Hall of Fame for Great Americans has fewer visitors every year compared to Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which has over a million visitors annually (247). On one of the scholar’s tour, he contrasts two westerns which are High Noon and Unforgiven (Gibbon 247). High Noon, in 1959, won about four awards while Unforgiven won “best picture” in 1992 (Gibbon 248). The writer says the best-selling postage stamps feature Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, and the most popular TV show is Seinfeld and his point is Americans consider unheroic people to be heroes (Gibbon 248). Thomas Jefferson is known as the president with the slave mistress while Mozart is the careless genius who liked to talk dirty (Gibbon 248). Missionary Position is a recent biography of mother Teresa (Gibbon 248). He tells us, social scientists continuously say human beings are not independent but are controlled by genes and environment. During this time of instant communication, reflection, accuracy, balance are given little time and the media says sleaze is common, nothing is pure, no one is trustworthy, no heroes are present (Gibbon 248).

..."Set Fire To The Rain"
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.
[Chorus:]
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it...

...﻿FACTORS THAT AFFECT LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Language development ~ this includes the child's ability to listen, speak and understand vocabulary. There are 4 main areas necessary for communication and which can affect school readiness;
1. Speech - understanding how to pronounce clearly
2. Language - understanding language and using language
3. Fluency - communicating without stammering or repeating
4. Voice - producing sounds
The optimum time to acquire language is when a child is 0-5 years old. After this age, the brain struggles to learn these skills. There are a few factors that cause language delays; learning disability, poor concentration and attention, family history of delayed language and immature development.
There are also environmental factors that can be improved by parents and educators such as;
Lack of motivation - Are other children speaking for the child? Is the child being treated like a baby? Is your child allowed to make their own choices?
Lack of desire - Is the child ignored or bullied? Is too much expected of the child and so they give up trying? Does the child experience rich language at home?
Lack of stimulation - Is the child encouraged to talk about their ideas and thoughts? Is the child given enough positive attention and encouragements?
Lack of opportunity - Do parents and carers ask the child questions about their day and engage them in conversation?
In addition, emerging literacy skills such as print awareness, story sense and writing...

The two religions I am going to write about are Hinduism and Islam and I am also going to talk about the architecture of both the religions.
Hinduism:
Hinduism is an inimitable religion among the world and nobody knows when it came into existence. It is a religion that is followed in India by most of the people which was established four thousand years ago and it is the third largest religion in the world.

Architecture of Hinduism:
“Hinduism is a richly visual tradition, illustrated by its paintings, sculpture, and distinctive rangoli (Colors) patterns. Hinduism is additional than just a religion; it is a way of life” this is a true statement. Hindu architecture is based on “Vaastu shastra” which is the knowledge of structure. Vaastu means a building, structure or...
